Business Wars

Netflix vs. HBO. Nike vs. Adidas. Business is war. Sometimes the prize is your wallet or your attention. Sometimes, it’s just the fun of beating the other guy. The outcome of these battles shapes what we buy and how we live. Business Wars gives you the unauthorized, real story of what drives these companies and their leaders, inventors, investors and executives to new heights -- or to ruin. Hosted by David Brown, former anchor of Marketplace. From Wondery, the network behind Dirty John and American History Tellers.New episodes come out Wednesdays for free.

episode 3: Playboy vs Penthouse | Porno Chic


The sexual revolution that Hugh Hefner helped set in motion is entering a new phase. Male Baby Boomers are all grown up. Now, they've got power. They’ve got money. And they want to spend it on pictures of beautiful, naked women. 

It’s a wildly lucrative market, and Penthouse publisher Bob Guccione wants a piece of the action. A big piece. Playboy rules in the United States, but London-based Guccione is set to bring Penthouse stateside. He’s ready to challenge Hefner on his own turf.
